    The 5.0 the red one with toras isn't it? We sell them at my lbs, (where they're 50% of RRP) One of the other guys rides one, they ride really nicely, front end picks up well, quite a light frame, good spec. Bars are pretty heavy, but everything else is solid.

    Not sure it's great for £500 as I'm pretty sure there are better bikes for that money.
